Fantasy

I reference this stat a lot in my Fantasy Football articles. Running backs who carry the ball 380 or more times in a season tend to disappoint the following year. Let’s take a look at every running back who has led the league in carries the past 20 years. As you’ll see, except for THREE…

Quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger – Roethlisberger’s home/away splits continue to be a good benchmark for his upside at home, which is extremely high. On average over the last three years, Roethlisberger has thrown for 339 yards and 2.95 touchdowns per game at home. This season he played in just six home games, but averaged 319 yards,…

This weekend we should avoid the Cowboys, Giants and Steelers starters, as they appear to be either resting or have a chance to be taken out of the game early.

Julio Jones is out against the 49ers this week, which should elevate Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel’s targets.

It’s impossible to know the extent of his…
